Sharkie posted:Yeah it's not radically different than a lot of writing that was being done in feminist circles in the 70s, but it isn't well written or explained and he doesn't get into a substantive discussion of how things can be changed, which other people writing on the subject did.I get the impression he was just repeating au courant arguments instead of thinking deeply about it. That being said it's still dangerous and uh, problematic that he readily adopts a position that women have, as a class, universally had the same reaction to messed up and toxic gender roles; it's neither correct nor wise to say that all women fantasize about rape. And really he should have known that even then. He did not actually say that. I don't know if you're deliberately misconstruing it or if you're being tripped up by the ambiguity between generalized indefinite article noun phrases and specific or hypothetical indefinite article noun phrases ("a dog has four legs" = all dogs, "a dog is in my yard" = some particular dog). He is asking the reader to think of a hypothetical man and woman having these thoughts, and while that's unclear at first, it gets pretty obvious as you keep reading.

GalacticAcid posted:https://twitter.com/subverzo/status/604368035017838593 Does seem more likely to be a stunt. Usually documents like that are sealed and given the fact that Christie could just decline the summons. On one hand the media doesn't need to make a big deal about the summons since he would be in court anyway. On the other hand one of the best ways to serve a summons to a politician is to pretend you are a supporter at a rally. Honestly conflicted on this one.

This seems to be ignoring everything we've learned about the Secret Service in the past few years. No way a hooker wouldn't be thoroughly searched several times on her way to Bill. Now a drunk guy flying a gyrocopter onto the front lawn? That's someone who could make a serious play for the residence.

A man writing about female rape fantasies in a normalizing way is a "thought experiment", not something that supports and encourages rape culture. That man is also a Democrat running for President. These are completely unconnected facts. Progressives have no inherent double standard.

There is plenty of the former, and the latter is in bad taste, with a whiff of implied misogyny.

Speaking of the progressive double standard, now all three GOP House Speakers that contributed to the Clinton impeachment have been embroiled in sex scandals. Although, in fairness to Livingston and Gingrich, only Hastert is a rapist. Anyway back to 2016, the funniest part from this Politico piece from this morning: quote:[on Rand's foreign policy]Going a step further, an Iowa Republican added, “It solidifies his ceiling at under 10 percent. Every day that passes it appears that Rand Paul should be Hillary Clinton’s [Democratic] primary opponent.”
